Is Iran planning an October 7-style multi-front attack on Israel?

Israeli intelligence assessments suggest Iran is seeking to rebuild its regional network to launch simultaneous attacks against Israel, similar to the surprise October 7, 2023 assault. The aim is for Iran's forces, along with Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis in Yemen, and Iraqi militias to coordinate their efforts against Israel from multiple fronts at once.

This strategy aims to stretch Israel's air defenses, military resources, and attention across several simultaneous battlegrounds. However, there is no indication that an imminent attack is planned. While there have been increased contacts, joint training, and efforts to restore missile and drone capabilities among the regional allies, it remains uncertain whether Iran can rebuild its network to execute such a coordinated campaign.
